Alpha Lithium Receives Drilling License for Phase Two of Drilling at Tolillar Lithium Project in Argentina
January 19 2021 - 9:00AM
Alpha Lithium Corporation (TSX.V: ALLI) (OTC: ALLIF)
(Frankfurt: 2P62) (“
Alpha” or the
“
Company”), sole owner of one of the last large,
undeveloped salars in Argentina’s Lithium Triangle, is pleased to
announce that it has received approval and drilling licenses for
Phase Two of its three-phase drilling program on Alpha’s 100%
owned, 27,500-hectare Tolillar Salar.
The drilling licenses replaced the previous
licenses that had expired and could not be renewed during
government COVID shutdowns. These licenses allow the company to
initiate Phase Two of the Company’s three-phase drilling program
(see press release January 12, 2021) for a complete summary of the
three-phase drilling program) and drill at least two deeper wells
on the eastern and southern portions of the salar.
Drilling of Phase Two is expected to commence
immediately after Phase One is complete, in the coming weeks.
The Company started drilling its six-well,
three-phase drilling program at the start of December (see press
release December 1, 2020). All planned drilling operations on the
first well are complete and the crew has now moved on to the second
well in the program.
The Company’s 27,500-hectare Tolillar Salar is
one of the largest untested salars in Argentina and is 100% owned
by Alpha Lithium. Previous drilling and sampling of the salar has
established the presence of lithium across the tremendous arial
extent of the Tolillar Salar and the current drill program is an
additional step towards the completion of a 43-101 Resource
Estimate.
Alpha recently added a renowned group of lithium
chemistry experts to its team (see press release November 18, 2020)
for the purpose of examining and evaluating different Direct
Lithium Extraction (“DLE”) techniques that have been shown to
economically extract lithium at concentrations as low as 100
mg/L.
Brad Nichol, Chief Executive of Alpha,
commented, “While the news of receiving our Phase Two drilling
licenses was expected, it is still very exciting to be readying
ourselves for drilling to greater depths and defining the extent of
the Tolillar Salar. All wells in this drilling program are being
drilled as production wells, not just core holes. Previous
campaigns and tests have provided us with the evidence of lithium
and confidence to drill producible wells so that our internal
lithium chemistry experts can begin the sampling and testing of
different DLE technologies on our exact brine. This will allow us
to move very quickly into the production phase at the Tolillar
Salar. To that end, we have made significant progress with several
DLE technology companies and hope to have news of that progress in
the future.”
